Revoked by Lamar.

Kansas ClIy 1lmeS Special
Secretary Lamar to-day signed an order
revoking the order of March 26, 1886,
Withdrawing from settlement all of range
forty one il the western part of Kansas
and eastern part of Colorado. The issue
OF this order of Withdrawal, setting aside
from settlement strip Of land over 500
miles long, was due to Z conference held
with Senator Coke, of Texas, who was
acting in thejnterest of the cattle industry
OF Texas and the southwest Dry Gather
and other causes has operated dur
ing 1885 to greatly deplete the ranges of
the southwest and the question of feed
for the enormous herds OF those sections
had become mos important one.
Grasses were snort and scarce every
%tere and if il became necessary, as 1t
afterwards did, to drive the herds north.
ward ia search of feed, it was necessary
to find a thoroughfare. The hostility Of
the government to any attempt TO drive
through the. Indian Territory and
the rapid settlement of lands IN Colorado
and Kansas rendered some action to Sc
cure sort of right of way at once neces-
sary. Senator Coke offered early in the
session of 1856 & bill which passed the
Senate, setting aside this entire range
and giving the cattlemen the right 10
drive across this portion of the public
DOMAIN to reach the north. The
bin mad every prospect of passing
the House, and in order to save
this range Of township intacs the Senator
Went to Secretary Lamar, lsid the case
before him, ana asked HIM to torestall
the bill by the withdrawal which it d.
rected. This the Secretary did by tele-
graph to registers and receivers OF date
above given. The bill, however, died IN
the House, and the lsnd has remained
Withdrawn without distinct authority of
law ever since. IL the past year
settlers have been rushing into Western
Kansas and making application TO take up
this land. Appeals have been made to
the Secretary of the Interior to oper this
land TO settlement, and he to-day con-
cluded to do so. The land is of excellent
quality, and will ill rapidly with settlers.
How the herds upon the northwestern
ranges will return to Texas, should they
desire to do SO, is now question for
cattlemen

GLADSTONE REPLIES TO BRIGHT.
LONDON, June 1.-THE Post believes
an amicable arrangement with France in
the matter OF the Anglo Turkish conven-
ton is imminent.
Mr.. Gladstone replies to Bright as fol-
lows; "Thsnks for your letter, espec-
tally the postscript. | am aware of no
final or general pronouncemeQt about
Ulster or 8 portion CT Ulster. The
only Tory declarations yet known to
me in Parliament are Saunderson's,
which are strongly against severance
Our position is exactly what it was April
s, 1856. In regard to conspirators and
patriots, l think l never used either
word, but endeavered to describe Irish
men and others according to their con-
duct. In the autumn of 1881,
thought Parnell aimed at
the disorganization of society
and the disruption of the empire, and so
rightly or wrongly described his acts.
Since 1881 although he has been charged
to be engaged in overthrowing the gov
eminent, have never seen 3 cause as
scribed to him indicating such aims and I
never once uttered SUCH e reproach. l
now see him and his cosdlutors the
lawfully CHOSEN representatives of the
Irish reople demanding in their
name q measure which it will be difficult
to show in principle and within the
present limitation that ever condemned.
1 trest them accordingly Just, as In 1879,
l denounced Salisbury for piracy, but in
1885, when he WAS doing right regarding
the Balkan question, l tried to get the
commons to support him.
It is reported that the Parnellites in
tend to oppose Smiths resolution clos
ing the debate by d series of motions,
which will lead to their suspension from
the House.
